HERBERT HOOVER
Hoover the practical, the human
itarian, took his seat as president of
the United States, at the nation's
capital, Tuesday, to serve' a four
year term. Certainly no man, in our
time at least, enters upon the heavy
duties of the office of the President
of the United States better equipped
by experience and training than Her
bert Hoover. He is already called
the "super man," and there is no
question but what a large percentage
of the public already see all the
problems of our country solved by the
magic of Herbert Hoover's presence
in the White House. This we main
tain is dangerous both to Mr. Hoover
and to the nation. The problems
which he has to solve, the tasks with
which he has to deal are too large,
too complex, too ponderous, to be
solved by any sort of official legerde
main. In the long weary months and
even years that must elapse before
all of the problems which Mr. Hoover
has committed himself to undertake,
are translated into terms of popular
benefit, let us not become impatient
that the hand that shapes, shapes too
slowly. Mr. Hoover will have much
criticism and perhaps deserve little.
But this is a government "of the peo
ple, for the people, and by the peo
ple," and many times he will be
thwarted in high undertakings by
political expediency. But let us keep
our faith with the sure knowledge
that Jhe incoming President brings
to bear upon his task a wider range
of experience and training than has
ever been brought to the White House
and in due time will "come through."

A LAPSE ON BONDS
To require a property qualification
as a condition of voting taxes or
bonds is an idea which has its ap
peal to taxpayers, is the opinion of
the Oregon Voter. Continuing, the
Voter says:
"To require a property qualification
as a condition of voting taxes or
bonds is an idea which has its appeal
to taxpayers. To enact the bills which
the senate passed so eagerly probably
will result in a moratorium on mu
nicipal bond issues for at least two
years. That the law will be repealed
next session we predict provided it
survives a referendum should one be
invoked. It would not be a bad idea
to have a moratorium upon new bond
issues and new tax levies for two
years. We would all live through it
and sometimes it is wise to be halt
ed, especially in the pleasant pursuit
of voting other people's money or
voting other people into debt.
"It is not in accord with the prin
ciple of popular sovereignty to with
draw the franchise on tax and bond
measures from the people as a whole
and fix it simply with those who own
property. The modern electorate re
gards itself as well-informed on pub
lic questions and under our modern
education, we find that usually it is
. well informed. The taxpayer has been
the victim during years when no safe
guards whatsoever were erected to
protect his property from being vot
ed by small minorities of the popular
electorate. It seems to us that what
is needed are safeguards to prevent
small minorities from voting taxes
and bonds upon property rather than
to attack popular sovereignty and at
tempt to restore to the taxpayer an
exclusive right to vote on whether he
shall be taxed or bonded for the pub
lic good. Experience in the past
shows tiXt the taxpayer cannot be
trusted with exclusive jurisdiction
over his own property, so far as
public needs and public progress are
concerned."
education composed of nine directors,
and abolishing the old regency boards
of the separate institutions. By this
potent legislative stroke the rivalry
and political maneuvering has been
eliminated, and the unnecessary and
expensive overlapping of study
courses will be wiped out.
They had a nice time down at New-
berg Tuesday, when Pacific College
signally honored Herbert Hoover, its
first student, on his inauguration as
the 31st president of the United
States. In the fall of 1885 when
Pacific was Friends Pacific academy,
Hoover registered there as a fresh
man, and as a result old Newberg
feels pretty close to the new presi

There seems to be always a goat
standing around to be tied up, in
order that an interested public . or
some official bureau may be satisfied.
Over in Italy the other day, General
Nobile, who is perhaps that country's
smartest man in aeronautics, was
made the goat and held responsible
for the kiss of the dirigible Italia in
the Arctic, after soaring over the
pole. What seemed to stick in the
Italian craw more than all else, was
the act of Nobile allowing himself to
be taken from the ice flow first by the
Sweedish rescue flier. In view of the
fact that all member of the Nobile
camp party were rescued safely, may
be it would have better appeased the
moral rigidity of the Italian bureau,
cratic system, had some other mem-j
ber cf the crew been lifted from the j
ice camp first, and Nobile left be-i
hind to help do the cooking.
